I always wonder about these shenanigans, I often tend to look at both sides of it though to try and figure out, in my own mind, the truth.
Lehner might be hurt, hip surgery is no joke. Buuut....when did they learn of this hip injury? The Knights didnt even make the playoffs. Monahan needed hip surgery and they shut him down in March? And the Flames were making the playoffs.
So this could have been addressed a long time ago and probably should have.
This gives VGK some sweet, sweet LTIR relief. Which is good for them. Ergo Shenanigans.
Buuuut....it also leaves them without a starting Goaltender and not much in the way of available replacements or cap in which to procure one....which is bad.
So I dont know what the hell is going on here. It seems like incompetence more than anything else at this point. It seems to me that they should have shut him down last season and started rehabbing him for this one so they'd have a goalie.
Maybe Eichel can play in net?
